22. Ahhh --- good point on the Faux-like nature of the poll
Could be ComerPerro, that either by design or totally accidentally the poll is Faux flawed. The very nature of the goofy poll questions sure set us up (on DU) for a divisive conversation. And it worked (again by accident or on purpose) --- no clue there.

But I agree with your premise on the writing of it.

Maybe there is a lesson to be learned?

Such as, look carefully before you leap (vote) on a poll!
